In the period from 12 June to 10 July, 2017 the University Business Academy in Novi Sad was the host of the second international summer school called “Democracy and Civil Society”.

Prof. Dragan Ilić, Ph.D. expressed great honor and satisfaction when meeting with students from the University of Tecnologico de Monterrey from Mexico, who were guests of the University Business Academy in Novi Sad. In addition to the mandatory courses "Democracy and Civil Society" and "EU after BREXIT" that the students attended and successfully passed, our guests also had the opportunity to visit some of the most interesting Serbia’s tourist destinations and attractions (Zasavica, Carska Bara, Lake Palić, Sremski Karlovci, Viminacium, Drvengrad, mountains of Tara, Zlatibor, etc.), get to know the cities of Belgrade and Novi Sad, get acquainted with our gastronomic specialties, and also get to learn much more about Serbian culture, history and tradition.

"I will take a part of Serbia in my heart", said one the students- Pamela Martinez. She also added that she would be very happy to return to Novi Sad, perhaps even next year.

Aranza Lilith praised the methodological approach and way of communication between our professors and students and stressed that every single minute of lectures was very useful to her and that she will use the knowledge she gained while in Serbia when she returns to Mexico.

Daniel Gutierrez reflected on our tradition and culture with the following words: "Serbia is a very rich country; rich in people who have a big heart, great tradition and rich culture".

Before the certificate awarding ceremony organized for the attendees of the international summer school, Prof. Dejan Mihailović Ph.D., an expert who has been working as a professor at the University Tecnologico de Monterrey for 30 years, said: "This is a great day for the University Business Academy in Novi Sad as it has established important academic cooperation with the University Tecnologico de Monterrey, the largest university in Latin America with over 90,000 Students, 30 campuses throughout Latin America and partnerships with the American Stanford University, the University of California at Berkeley, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and many other well-known universities around the world."

Special gratitude on sincere and wholehearted support was sent to Prof. Marijana Carić Ph.D., President of the University Council and University Rector – Prof. Mirko Kulić, Ph.D.
